I would like to remove the dates from the blog

Ideally, I would like to see “by: {author}” in it’s place

Can you help me do this? I have searched the forum and cannot get it to work. Thank you!!!

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

Please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

function x_icon_entry_meta() {

    $author = sprintf( '<span><i class="x-icon-pencil" data-x-icon=""></i> %s</span>',
      get_the_author()
    );

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">By : %s</p>',
        $author
      );
    }

  }

Hope this helps.

I’m not sure “where” the chid theme is… can you please tell me exactly how to get to the place to add this?

Is it not possible to add via the customizer instead? Thanks again

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allows you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme instead of modifying the core theme files directly.

We recommend you to please walk-through our knowledgebase on how to set up and get started with child theme.

Thanks.

Got it, yes that is a lot of work for this not-very-tech-savvy person 🙂

Is there no way to ‘mask’ the date on the blog via CSS customizer?

Hey There,

Use this CSS :

.x-iso-container-posts.cols-3 .p-meta {
    display: none;
}

[meschwa]

Unfortunately that code doesn’t do it Rahul, it actually cuts off the top line of the blog post title (and the top line of the homepage.

I would even be ok with changing the color of the date (to white) so it’s not visible… I just don’t want to take on the ‘learning curve’ of the child theme for such a small fix if possible. Thanks again!!!

Hi,

You can try this code instead.

.blog .p-meta .entry-date {
    display:none;
}

Add this code in Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global CSS

Hope that helps.

Thanks Paul, unfortunately that didn’t do it.

Thank you Joao!!
I’m not sure what I did wrong…

Is there a way to also disable the date showing on the individual posts? When I click through to a post entry I see the date. Thanks again

[Rahul]

Hey There,

Use this CSS :

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .main-menu a, .secondary-menu a, .widget_pages, .widget_categories, .widget_nav_menu, .tagline, .sub-title, .entry-meta, .entry-note, .read-more, #submit, .ltr .single .entry-content > p:first-of-type:first-letter, input#s, .single-author-box .vcard, .comment-author, .comment-meta, .comment-reply-link, #respond label, .copyright, #wp-calendar tbody, .latest-reviews i, .score-box .total {
    display: none;
}

Thanks
